Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway
Tags:
In just one week my new workshop begins at Big Picture Scrapbooking:Yesterday & Today.
It's hard to believe it is almost finally here.
And in case you didn't know already, you're invited to join me.
Here's what I want you to know if you are still considering embarking on this journey with me:
• With a focus on the stories from yesterday & the stories from today, this class is really an in-depth look at the way I scrapbook.
• Each week (on Thursdays) you will receive an email inviting you to the classroom where a video presentation will be waiting for you to access on your own time (you do not need to be online at a certain time - it's just one of the awesome things about Big Picture's classroom set-up). These video presentations are not just a 5-15 minute talk about the subject and the layout - so far they are averaging around an hour. During that hour my goal is to inspire you to take a look at the way in which you scrapbook and encourage you to focus on the things that matter most to you within the framework of the theme for that week.
• In addition to the video presentations there are weekly video tutorials showing my processes for concepts and techniques using Photoshop Elements.
• For those of you, like me, who like to actually read the weekly content there will be a color PDF download detailing the concepts and information covered in the video presentation (as well as a how-to for the weekly project).
• Each week there will be a digital element download and a digital layered template (all new). The digital elements will be used as printables (hybrid elements) on the weekly layout and the layered template will match the paper layout I create for each week.
• Even if you will be away for a time during the class you will still have access to the materials.
• The class will have it's own message board & gallery for sharing and communicating with one another (including me).
• This workshop is a chance for you to:
investigate your past through words + photos
do something meaningful with older photos if you have them (or to tell those stories that have meaning even if you don't possess the photos)
tell your own personal stories of success + challenge + growth
work on embracing imperfection & going with the flow
celebrate your everyday life + make sure you are capturing stories that are meaningful to you today
connect with other people who care deeply about collecting + celebrating the stories of their lives
• The cost for this 13 week class is $99.
I am really, really excited for this workshop to get underway.
I hope to see you there.

I would like to record the story of my parents meeting and courtship. The photo on the wall is great, but the love story behind it is priceless and so interesting.

I would like to document some of the everyday life around here. It's easy to get all caught up and forget the details!

Like others, I would like to document my childhood. I have been documenting our lives since 1994, but I would love to document my own growing up years!

With the loss of my father before my kids really got to know him, I really want to document what he was like with us as kids and how that reflects on how I am with my kids today.

I would like to document some of the stories I wrote as a child. They're somewhere in my parent's house. I remember one really great one about my spunky sister who got teased to death by a really not-so-nice uncle. She'd had enough, so she chased him with a bit stick, swinging viciously. (She was 5... she didn't get reprimanded that badly... after all, she'd had enough of his antics against her.)

Thanks, Ali. Story I'd like to document - different jobs I've had over time and how I finally carved out one I liked although the odds were against me.

I'd love to share the story of my dad's family. All five boys left home for World War II, and came back! I think that's pretty amazing.

I want to document the stories of my grandparents, before they are lost! There are not a lot of pictures of them when they were younger, but they have such amazing stories that I want to share with my son.

The stories I'd like to document are of myself & my husband's grandparents. We just lost his grandfather this year and it made me realize how much I'd like to make tribute to his life and cherish the memories we are still having with the rest of our grandparents.
Thanks for this great opportunity.

I would love to document the pictures I have of my Aunt Marie. She died when I was only 8 yrs old. I was extremely attached to her. The memories I have of her are so vivid in my mind. I don't ever want to loose her memory, her smell, her smile and her love of family and nature. So I think that this class would help me capture her memory. I would be honored to win a class of yours.

I would like to document the journey I took to being a mama. I wasn't one of those women who "always knew" I'd have children. My childhood greatly affected how I viewed being a mother and I wasn't sure I wanted to be a part of that.
